This application provides a dynamic visualization of the device's 3D orientation through an innovative 3D compass interface. By leveraging the power of multiple sensors and advanced sensor-fusion techniques, it offers users a comprehensive understanding of how their device interacts with its environment.

The app integrates data from the Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and Compass in various configurations, presenting the results as an interactive 3D compass that moves in real-time with the device. This feature allows users to physically rotate their device and see the corresponding changes in the 3D compass visualization.

A key highlight of this application is the introduction of two new virtual sensor fusions: "Improved Orientation Sensor 1" and "Improved Orientation Sensor 2". These sensors combine the Android Rotation Vector with a virtual Gyroscope sensor, achieving a level of pose estimation stability and precision that sets a new standard in mobile sensor technology.

For those interested in comparing sensor performance, the application includes the following options:

• Improved Orientation Sensor 1: A fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, offering higher accuracy but less stability.
• Improved Orientation Sensor 2: Another fusion of the Android Rotation Vector and a Calibrated Gyroscope, prioritizing stability over accuracy.
• Android Rotation Vector: Utilizes a Kalman filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Calibrated Gyroscope: Shows the separate result of a Kalman filter fusion of the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.
• Gravity + Compass: Combines data from these two sensors for orientation estimation.
• Accelerometer + Compass: Another method to determine device orientation.
• Deprecated Android Orientation Sensor: Uses a complementary filter to fuse data from the Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Compass.

The source code for this application is openly accessible, and interested users can find the link in the About section of the app.
